Answer:

y = -1/3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of the given line is 3 because (y = mx +c where m is the gradient)

Therefore, to find the gradient of the perpendicular line (at 90 degrees), you need to find the negative reciprocal.

The negative reciprocal of 3 is -1/3 because imagine if 3 = 3/1, to get the reciprocal, you flip it, and to get the negative, you just flip the sign.

Now we know that Line M is y = -1/3x + c, we need to find the y-intercept.

To do this, just input the point (3,1) into y = -1/3x + c, to get c. This is because we know (3,1) is on the line from the question.

So it would be 1 = (-1/3 x 3) +c

Which would be 1 = -1 +c

And so c = 2

Put everything together and you get y = -1/3x + 2

Which of the statements below are true? Select all that apply.
creativ13 [48]
A is true: the absolute value of 0.92 is close to 1, and 0.92 is positive.
B is false: correlation can also be negative.
C is false: the absolute value of -.17 is closer to 0 than 1; therefore, it is a weak correlation.
D is true: the absolute value of .01 is very close to 0, meaning that there is no significant correlation.
E is true: correlation can range from -1 (perfect negative) to 1 (perfect positive).
F is false: it measures the strength and direction between two numerical variables!
In conclusion, A, D, and E are true.
